Either the quality of the bulb ain't good or there must be some sort of electrical malfunction, because this is the second time I am replacing this bulb in the Audi A3 in five years. I've also replaced the brake light bulbs in the Audi A4

After you open the hatch, inside the car adjacent to the light you'll find a plastic cover which you can lift open with a small screwdriver

Using a small screwdriver gently loosen the plastic bolt that holds the brake light assembly to the body of the car, and then remove the bolt with your fingers

This time I'm going to replace the fused bulb with a GE bulb. Let's see how they perform in comparison to Sylvania ☺

Gently slide the brake light assembly off the body of the car

Gently remove the black plastic bolts shown below ...

... to separate the white portion of the assembly from the red

(Sorry the picture below is out of focus) ☺

That's the fused bulb

Replace the bulb and put everything back in reverse order

Gently push the brake light assembly into the two circular slots on the body of the car without breaking anything

How exciting at the time, 16kB RAM, CPU capable of running at 3.5 MHz, rubber keyboard, video output was to a colour TV (or should I say television). Programs and games were stored and transferred from cassette tapes, and I even had a printer with thermal paper!

Give a glass of water to someone, and you'll observe three kinds of people:

1. Those who are grateful that they have water

2. Those who complain that there is only half a glass of water

3. And those who are grateful for the glass, and the water ☺

We sometimes forget the blessings in our lives and tend to focus on the problems instead. As for me, I am grateful for life, for everyone and everything HE has provided. After all, nothing belongs to me. HE owns everything!
